Dogwood Hills Eviction Risk: Moderate

1 census tracts · pop 3,120 · pop-weighted Eviction Risk Score 4.8/10 · range 4.8–4.8

Dogwood Hills is a one-tract neighborhood of Clarksville, TN, population 3,120. The Eviction Risk Score is 4.8/10, in the Moderate tier. What pushes the score up most is economic stress at 10/10.

Against a Clarksville baseline of 29.1%, 42% of renters here cross the 30%-of-income line. The poverty rate is 41%. Judgments in high-poverty tracts are collectible far less often than the filing statistics suggest.

This is a renter market: 81% of occupied units are tenant-occupied. Running cool is rent-regulation exposure, at 1/10.

Average gross rent is $923, 29% below the Clarksville average of $1,307. The severe-burden share is 17%. Those renters are past the 50% mark, and they miss rent for reasons that have nothing to do with willingness to pay.

On the softer side is eviction-process difficulty, at 2/10. That places it #1 of 22 neighborhoods in Clarksville.

Social vulnerability runs high at 9.9/10, concentrating the disaster- and displacement-exposure this model treats as a lagging risk input. Annual rent works out to 30% of average household income of $37,422.

Because the boundary contains one tract, 4.8/10 is simultaneously the area figure and the address-level figure. The number is rebuilt whenever its ACS, court-record, or statutory inputs change.
